Since Google released its new Gmail “Inbox” feature last week, TheAndroidSoul.com reports that Gmail users can now get to their Gmail Inbox by doing a Google Now or web search.

According to TheAndroidSoul.com, the following search terms resulted in Gmail showing up in search results:

  • my inbox
  • gmail inbox
  • get inbox
  • show inbox
  • inbox from gmail
  • inbox by gmail

The report says the feature delivers all types of Gmail content, including Promotions, Social and Updates within search results, for both mobile and Google Now, but only works with frequently used accounts.

[blockquote cite=”TheAndroidSoul.com]This doesn’t seem to be available for everyone yet, I tested this on three of my Gmail accounts and the thing worked on two accounts that I frequently use, but didn’t work on the account that I use less.[/blockquote]

Here’s an example of Gmail messages showing up in the search results:
